About the department

You will be part of a dynamic and growing project department currently consisting of seven people, both VA designers and project managers, with plans to grow further. With expertise in water and sewage (VA), the department drives VA pipeline projects from idea to completed facility.

Our project portfolio consists of both new construction of pipelines in connection with detailed plans (development projects) and renewal of the existing VA pipeline network. Climate adaptations in urban environments are also a growing part of our project portfolio, where a changing climate places higher demands on our stormwater systems.

VA competence is a fundamental building block as the group strives towards ambitious goals. Together with your colleagues, you will have the opportunity to create real change.

Your responsibilities

As a designer for the VA pipeline network, you will be responsible for the technical design of the future VA pipeline network. The role includes both investigative and project management elements, but the focus is primarily on designing and technically shaping VA systems. The projects will vary, from renewing existing networks in urban areas to establishing new pipeline networks in untouched terrain. You may also work on projects related to climate adaptations, such as stormwater reservoirs or similar solutions, to meet future climate challenges. All types of projects place high demands on coordination with other infrastructure.

In short, your main tasks will include:

• Designing VA pipelines for new or renovation projects, including producing VA drawings, quantity lists, and administrative regulations.
• Performing calculations and dimensioning of VA systems.
• Support during procurement and implementation of VA contracts.
• Representing the VA principal at internal and external meetings, for example, at joint design meetings with various utility owners.

A unique advantage of the role is the opportunity to work on projects from start to completed facility. This means that after the design phase, you can also lead your own projects. You will collaborate with the contractor who will realize your drawings and solutions, giving you valuable insights and perspectives that contribute to your development as a VA designer.

Who are you?

To succeed in the role of VA designer, accuracy and an eye for detail are crucial for creating sustainable and feasible solutions. You have good self-awareness and a humble approach to your work, which allows you to constantly learn from each project. With a structured working method and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, you ensure that all parts maintain high quality and are well anchored in reality. You have the ability to see the big picture while being attentive to details that make a difference.

Your way of collaborating with colleagues, stakeholders, and external actors is a key factor for success in the projects.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A university degree in engineering or civil engineering.
• At least 3 years of experience as a VA designer or equivalent position, such as land designer or district heating designer.
• AutoCAD or similar design tools.
• Fluent knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.
• A valid driver's license (B).
